Miller Homes North West has raised over £2K through competing in the Coniston Challenge, bringing the total raised for Alder Hey Children’s Hospital this year to £10,514.
The Coniston Challenge saw the homebuilder’s North West team take on a demanding 15km bike ride through the picturesque Lake District, an 11.8km hike to the summit of the iconic Old Man of Coniston, and a 3km canoe across Coniston Water. Despite the rigorous nature of the challenge, the group demonstrated remarkable perseverance and teamwork.
Alder Hey was selected as Miller Homes charity of choice this year, so that funds raised will go towards 330,000 children providing them with access to the best facilities and equipment, along with benefiting the hospitals innovating work which is felt by families throughout the world.
Team members from Miller Homes North West who took part in the challenge include David Bowden, Nicola Graham, Nicola Inganni, Jade Davies, Rob Allen, Spencer Lamb, Andrew Milnes, Tracey Slann, John Pickup, and Alex Goodmarsh.
David Bowden, the team captain, shared his thoughts on the experience: “Taking part in the Coniston Challenge was an incredible experience for all of us. The combination of biking, hiking, and canoeing was tough, but knowing that our efforts are contributing to such a worthy cause made it all worthwhile. We’re extremely proud of what we’ve achieved so far and are motivated to continue our fundraising efforts for Alder Hey Children’s Charity.”
Stuart Craig, Managing Director of Miller Homes North West, also commented on the team’s achievement: “I am immensely proud of our team for their dedication and hard work. Their commitment to supporting Alder Hey Children’s Hospital is truly inspiring, and the funds raised will make a significant difference in the lives of many children. We are excited to continue our fundraising journey throughout the year and raise as much needed funds as we can.”
Miller Homes North West will continue to raise funds for Alder Hey Children’s Charity throughout the year, with the next major fundraising initiative, taking on the National 3 Peaks Challenge. In addition to this endeavour, the home builder is welcoming public contributions through their JustGiving page.
